Ahhh... I never could figure out what caused minicom to fail like
that.  I use tcsh all the time!

: Just curious, what do you choose csh? the syntax?

I use it because it's available on all the systems I use (and I like
it of course).

: Try this:

:   PATH=.:%PATH%
:   export PATH

That looks like some strange mix of dos and sh if you ask me.

If using tcsh, do one of:
set path=($path .)
or
setenv PATH "${PATH}:."
(either type it when you want to add the current directory to your
path or put it in your .login or .cshrc file (or even /etc/csh.login
or /etc/csh.cshrc)).
